SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork burdens, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited 

the general public and other Federal 

Agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on the following information 

collection. Comments are requested 

concerning: (a) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Commission, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s burden estimates; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), 

the FCC seeks specific comment on how 

it might ‘‘further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees.’’ 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0874. 

Title: Consumer Complaint Center: 

Informal Consumer Complaints. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

entities; Not for profit institutions; State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 292,937 respondents; 

292,937 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes (.25 hour) to 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

The statutory authority for this 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 208 

of the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended (the Act). 

Total Annual Burden: 73,244 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Confidentiality is an issue to the extent 

that individuals and households 

provide personally identifiable 

information, which is covered under the 

FCC’s updated system of records notice 

(SORN), FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal 

Complaints, Inquiries and Requests for 

Dispute Assistance.’’ As required by the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 

Commission also published a SORN, 

FCC/CGB–1 ‘‘Informal Complaints, 

Inquiries, and Requests for Dispute 

Assistance,’’ in the Federal Register on 

August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48152) which 

became effective on September 24, 2014. 

It may be reviewed at https://

www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-actinformation#systems. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: The FCC 

completed a Privacy Impact Assessment 

(PIA) on June 28, 2007. It may be 

reviewed at http://www.fcc.gov/omd/ 

privacyact/Privacy-ImpactAssessment.html. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

consolidated all of the FCC informal 

consumer complaint intake into an 

online consumer complaint portal, 

which allows the Commission to better 

manage the collection of informal 

consumer complaints. Informal 

consumer complaints consist of 

informal consumer complaints, 

inquiries and comments. This revised 

information collection requests OMB 

approval for the addition of a layer of 

consumer reported complaint 

information related to the National DeafBlind Equipment Distribution Program 

rules. 

The information collection burdens 

associated with these complaints is 

being transferred from OMB Control 

Number 3060–1225 (National DeafBlind Equipment Distribution Program) 

to OMB Control Number 3060–0874 to 

enable consumers to file complaints 

related to the National Deaf-Blind 

Equipment Distribution Program rules 

through the Commission’s Consumer 

Complaint Center.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FHFA is 

seeking comments on its collection of 

information regarding the minority and 

gender classification of individuals 

serving on the boards of directors of the 

Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and 

of the Office of Finance under FHFA’s 

regulations on Minority and Women 

Inclusion (MWI), codified at 12 CFR 

part 1223, which it will soon be 

submitting for renewal of the OMB 

control number under the PRA. 

A. Need for and Use of the Information 

Collection 

The Federal Home Loan Bank System 

consists of eleven regional Banks and 

the Office of Finance, which issues and 

services the Banks’ debt securities. The 

Banks are wholesale financial 

institutions, organized under authority 

of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act 

(Bank Act) to serve the public interest 

by enhancing the availability of 

residential housing finance and 

community lending credit through their 

member institutions and, to a limited 

extent, through certain eligible nonmember entities. Each Bank is 

structured as a regional cooperative that 

is owned and controlled by member 

financial institutions located within its 

district, which are also its primary 

customers. The Bank Act vests the 

management of each Bank in a board of 

directors that consists of two types of 

directors: (1) Member directors, who are 

drawn from the officers and directors of 

member institutions located in the 

Bank’s district and who are elected to 

represent members in a particular state 

in that district; and (2) independent 

directors, who are unaffiliated with any 

of the Bank’s member institutions, but 

who reside in the Bank’s district and are 

elected on an at-large basis.1 The Office 

of Finance is also governed by a board 

of directors, which consists of the 

presidents of the eleven Banks and five 

independent directors.2

Section 1319A of the Federal Housing 

Enterprises Financial Safety and 

Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and 

Soundness Act) requires that each of the 

Banks establish an Office of Minority 

and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be 

responsible for all matters relating to 

diversity in its management, 

employment, and business activities, in 

accordance with requirements 

established by FHFA.3 Section 1319A 

also requires that each Bank implement 

standards and procedures to ensure, to 

the maximum extent possible, the 

inclusion and utilization of women and 

minorities ‘‘at all levels’’ of its business 

and activities, and submit an annual 

report to FHFA detailing actions taken 

to achieve those goals.4

FHFA’s MWI regulations implement 

those statutory requirements and also 

extend the requirements to the Office of 

Finance. The MWI regulations require 

generally that each Bank and the Office 

of Finance ‘‘develop, implement, and 

maintain policies and procedures to 

ensure, to the maximum extent possible 

in balance with financially safe and 

sound business practices, the inclusion 

and utilization of minorities, women, 

individuals with disabilities, and 

minority-, women-, and disabled-owned 

businesses in all business and activities 

and at all levels of the regulated entity, 

including in management, employment, 

procurement, insurance, and all types of 

contracts.’’ 5 In recognition of the fact 

that each Bank is required by statute to 

promote diversity and inclusion ‘‘at all 

levels’’ of its business and activities, the 

MWI regulations further require that the 

Banks’ policies and procedures (as well 

as those of the Office of Finance) 

‘‘[e]ncourage the consideration of 

diversity in nominating or soliciting 

nominees for positions on boards of 

directors and engage in recruiting and 

outreach directed at encouraging 

individuals who are minorities, women, 

and individuals with disabilities to seek 

or apply for employment with the 

regulated entity.’’ 6

In conformity with the statutory 

requirements, FHFA’s MWI regulations 

require that each Bank and the Office of 

Finance submit to FHFA an annual 

report describing, among other things, 

its efforts to promote diversity at all 

levels of management and employment, 

and the results of those efforts.7 In order 

to provide a quantitative basis upon 

which to assess the results of those 

efforts, FHFA’s MWI regulations require 

that each Bank and the Office of Finance 

set forth in their respective annual 

reports the demographic data reported 

on the EEO–1 form, which they are 

required to file annually with the Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission 

(EEOC).8 The EEO–1 form requires that 

each respondent provide race, ethnicity 

and gender information for its 

employees, broken down into various 

job categories. Because the EEO–1 form 

does not require that a respondent 

provide information on board directors, 

FHFA cannot use the EEO–1 data to 

assess the effectiveness of the Federal 

Home Loan Bank System’s efforts to 

‘‘encourage the consideration of 

diversity in nominating or soliciting 

nominees for positions on boards of 

directors.’’ 

Therefore, in order to enable FHFA to 

assess those efforts, the MWI regulations 

separately require that the annual 

reports set forth ‘‘[d]ata showing for the 

reporting year by minority and gender 

classification, the number of individuals 

on the board of directors of each Bank 

and the Office of Finance,’’ using the 

same racial and ethnic classifications 

that are used on the EEO–1 form (which 

comply with OMB’s ‘‘Statistical Policy 

Directive No. 15, Race and Ethnic 

Standards for Federal Statistics and 

Administrative Reporting’’).9 The MWI 

regulations require that each Bank and 

the Office of Finance collect that data 

‘‘through an information collection 

requesting each director’s voluntary 

self-identification of his or her minority 

and gender classification without 

personally identifiable information.’’ 10

FHFA uses the information collected 

under this control number to assess the 

effectiveness of the policies and 

procedures that each Bank and the 

Office of Finance is required to 

implement to promote diversity in all of 

its business and activities ‘‘at all levels’’ 

and, specifically, to encourage diversity 

in the nomination and solicitation of 

nominees for members of its boards of 

directors. FHFA also uses the 

information to establish a baseline to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
37332 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 133 / Thursday, July 15, 2021 / Notices 

analyze future trends related to the 

diversity of the boards of directors of the 

Banks and the Office of Finance and to 

assess the effectiveness of the strategies 

developed by the Banks and the Office 

of Finance for promoting, developing, 

and retaining diverse board talent. 

B. Burden Estimate 

FHFA estimates the total annual hour 

burden imposed upon respondents by 

this information collection to be 20.5 

hours. This is based on estimates that 

205 Bank and Office of Finance 

Directors will respond annually, with 

each response taking an average of 0.1 

hours (6 minutes) (205 respondents × 

0.1 hours = 20.5 hours). 

C. Comments Request 

FHFA requests written comments on 

the following: (1) Whether the collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of FHFA functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

FHFA’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
